soft line drives when did you use the term soft with judge all year never until now..plus he is chasing pitches out of strike zone.. he could have walked 10 times in the last 7 games if he had the same patience.. as he had most of the year... plus judge is fouling off pitches he crushed most of the year... his timing is off.....

"I'll take Betts all day every day," said one of the NL scouts. "Just a total player where the other guy is more of a power type. I think [Judge's] batting average will go down. You strike out that much, it always does. Betts is a better outfielder, better hitter, better baserunner. Also less chance of getting hurt with a smaller body than a 275-pound guy."

Said another NL scout: "Betts for me. I love the Judge, but he'll be pitched to tougher. Still impact power, but Mookie can beat you in every phase of the game."

Asked if Betts has any weaknesses, the second NL scout said, "I've stopped looking for any."

He's still making contact, and I think a few that would have gone out or fallen in earlier this season have become outs. Then he presses a little and swings at pitches he was laying off of. I saw a little frustration yesterday for the first time. It happens to every player, your lucky if there is only one bad stretch over the 162-game season.

Yes, the timing of it is frustrating, but I kind of felt he was starting ti swing at some bad pitches before the break. Also, the league is adjusting to him, it's his first full seasone and he has played practically everyday. But if we know anything, we know he has a track record of being able to adjust.

He is going to be fine. This is just where the other players have to pick him up without the dreaded "trying to do too much" which sends everybody into a slump.

If they ask who was our star, give them 25 names, and if you forget our names, just tell them we were Yankees.

well, according to one yankee fan i spoke with over the weekend, judge's performance was an insult to sanchez and that gary is not getting enough credit for knocking out stanton. plus, the media are being disrespectful for sanchez for not covering his first round enough.

also, gary sanchez won't play well from now on - did you know he's not hitting like he did last year - cos he's no longer the main guy.
